Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia .

Over 220,000 people visited the show, so that's a health proportion of Japan's gaming populations looking at the Vita as their next purchase.
